ADVOCACY MATTERS

Welcome to the Kansas Arts Network’s Advocacy Center. On this page we’ll share current information about arts legislation and issues, as well as calls for action. Arts supporters can make an impact by speaking up for the issues they care about. We encourage all Kansans to be informed and communicate with their elected officials in support of the arts.

SUPPORT FUNDING FOR THE KANSAS ARTS COMMISSION

Advocacy Ask: Kansans are encouraged to communicate with their state representatives and encourage funding for the Kansas Arts Commission, which is part of the Department of Commerce. Arts organizations are encouraged to invite their state representatives to arts events in their districts and to ensure that state representatives know about how the arts benefit their district.
